press for all team up-dates! On May 9, all K-12 stu-dents will be treated to a special presentation from comedic performer, Trent Arterberry. Trent is an award-winning physical comedian who has toured extensively across Canada and throughout the US, performing at thousands of schools over the last 20 years. His shows blend his trademark physical expressiveness with mul-tiple speaking characters and dramatic story lines which entertain students and allow him to deliver a powerful message. The show will start at 2 pm and the community is welcome to attend. Hope to see you all there! Kelly Logan Principal

What is kinder-garten readi-

ness? You know your child best.

Think about what your

child is like when playing

with others and when

alone in their room. Then

ask yourself the follow-

ing:

1) Can my child listen to

instructions and then

follow them? Children

need these skills to func-

tion in class, to keep up

with the teacher and

with their peers.

2) Can my child put on

their coat and go to the

bathroom by themself?

Children need to be

somewhat self-sufficient

by school age.

3) Can my child use scis-

sors, hold a crayon or a

pencil or pick up small

objects or manipulate

pieces to complete a puz-

zle? Children will need

these fine motor skills.

4) Does my child show an

interest in books? Do

they try to "read" a book

by telling a story based

on the pictures? This is a

sign that their language

development is on a par

with other kinder-

gartners.

5) Is my child curious and

receptive to learning new

things? If a child's curi-

osity is stronger than

their fear of the unfa-

miliar, they will do well in

school.

6) Does my child get

along well with other

kids? Does my child

share and know how to

take turns? Your child

will be interacting with

other children all day, so

your child's social skills

are particularly im-

portant for success in

school.

7) Can my child work to-

gether with others as

part of a group? The

ability to put their needs

second, to compromise

and join in a consensus

with other children, is

also part of emotional

competence.

If you answered "yes" to

most of these questions

and "sometimes" to the

rest, your child is ready

for kindergarten.

If you child will be turn-

ing 5 in 2016, please con-

tact the school in your

area for information on

registration.

What can parents do to transform maths for their children? Here is a step to take:

Encourage children to play maths puzzles and games. Award winning mathematician, Sarah Flannery report- ed

that her maths achievement and enthusiasm came not from school but from the puzzles she was given to solve at

home. Puzzles and games – anything with a dice really – will help kids enjoy maths, and develop number sense,

which is critically important.
